  • Many Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre restaurants had a second-life as another entity. This is the research (thus far) about one of those retrofitted restaurants - J.J.'s Pizza Theatre.

    I’d love for you guys to do some digging on the second Fun Time Pizza location, which featured Cyberamics from the Pizza Time Theatre in McAllen, TX. No photos are available, but I can confirm after talking with multiple sources that they were indeed Chuck E. Cheese characters only “redressed” to fit to a beach theme.

    The most distracting thing about this whole thing is that JJ is wearing a tuxedo that looks nearly identical to that of tuxedo Chuck, yet had closed over 3 years before tuxedo Chuck even existed

    This place played regular PTT showtapes with Chuck’s name dubbed over in a loud, unfitting voice. The walkaround was kept the same but with a black mask tied around his head to look like a raccoon.

    I have wondered what the rest of the band looks like if we got more photos about it, it might have the rest of CEC characters unchanged like on one article or a Pasqually retrofit in the other article.
    (dunno if it does have The Warblettes as well, as both articles never mentions them)

    • @showbizpizzacom
      @showbizpizzacom  Год назад +3

      Our assumption is that they just left the other characters completely intact. If they were too lazy to change the names they likely didn’t change cosmetics either. But would be cool for more photos or video to surface to know for sure!

    someone should find the original san jose restaurant, refit it to look EXACTLY like the original, make/sculpt/mold the animatronics with the most accuracy possible, install accurate animatronic parts, and use all of the old showtapes. that would be my dream.
